I downloaded this quite awhile before it came out (the piano version)...I LOVED IT, but now I have listened to the whole album it is one of my least favourites!, I still like it, but it doesn't live up to the standards of songs like Viva La Vida and Strawberry Swing!

 

I think I was 'ruined' by the beautiful acoustic version too, but I've slowly come round to the album version. When I'm in a very bright mood I love it, and it's great for dancing - really great - but most other times I'd prefer to hear Lost? I think I'm going to make a CD with the acoustic version for that one track on instead (with LiJ Acoustic as the 'kimchi only' bonus track :))

 

The other thing I'd like to do, but don't have the technical skill, is to merge the two versions, with Lost? as a base which slowly adds in elements from Lost! I'd also really love to hear a Gospel version of Lost?

I think, as with wisdom, music appreciation has a direct link to age. Those who have given it time can attest to that. Yup. Besides, don't matter "who" ya are...Coldplay's good stuff. :smug:

I much prefer Lost? to Lost! Maybe it's because Lost! sounds too over-produced. In Lost! the drums drown out Chris' voice, yet in Lost? if ever there was a showcase for how beautiful his voice is, this is it.

 

I downloaded Lost? from iTunes because it's not included in their album. It's becoming one of my favourites. Maybe "Lost" is actually an ironic title, as though they didn't know what direction to take, because "Lost?" very much sounds like old Coldplay, and I love every minute of it.

ok, just my own experience. I had a leaked copy of Lost? ( aka the acoustic version ) , played it alot before I got my hands on the rest of the album, and liked it alot.

 

You know how some songs grow on you and you get comfortable with them? Well that's how it was with Lost? I haven't gotten sick of it and like it as well as say Lovers or Cemetaries.

 

I think the pop appeal of the album version, Lost!, explains why it's getting so much play.

yea zsub is right. it appeals to non REAL coldplay fans who just listen to mainstream music. it has a catchy beat and its not too complicated. idk how to explain it but it doesnt surpise me at ALL that its popular. although it is also one of my least favorites on the new album.

 

That's how I explain its popularity. Although I have to disagree on that last bit; it's actually one of my favorites on the album. Along with its appeal to those who listen to mainstream music it also appeals to Coldplay's more devoted fans, which explains why they tend to play it live more. I wouldn't be surprised (or disappointed) if it became their next single.
